Wireless charging/CarPlay iPhone overheating
Well I have looked at this and a lot of the comments are correct. I use an android and it trickle charges fine so on a long journey will charge the phone up fine. However if you use an app like Spotify (which I do) then whoohoo it's toasty time within about 30-40 minutes and the phone stops charging. If you want to charge the phone simply don't use an app whilst charging.

On long journeys now I use the i usb charger from the arm rest. It actually charges the phone even when using nav and music and stays nice and cool.r2uzenblot wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 2:12 pm Well I have looked at this and a lot of the comments are correct.

My phone also got red hot on charging tray on long journey. Does anyone know if you can turn off the charging? Had a quick look in the menus but no luck so far.
It’s a good spot to keep the phone but if not I guess I’ll go back to my magnetic mount on an air vent. Seems bit of a shame though…

It’s in the settings to switch it off.
Short journeys I just keep phone in my pocket. Longer journeys that I need charging, I plug it in the usb c port.
